FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022/2023 49 FGV is sponsoring the three-year programme, which aims to encourage students to play an active part in preserving their environment through an eco-project. The Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF) is partnering with FGV to provide students with training on how to identify, design and execute their project. The programme enables the students of SMK Triang 3 to apply the knowledge of recycling, energy conservation and reducing carbon emissions to their daily lives and to share it with their families and communities. PROMOTING ECONOMIC GROWTH PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS We continuously develop and carry out projects to support the communities in the areas where we operate. This includes improving plantation infrastructure and establishing 13 clinics in remote areas for our workers’ healthcare needs, with approval from the Ministry of Health. We also organised COVID-19 screenings and vaccinations for our employees to prioritise their health and safety. FGV has also invested in improving living conditions for our workers and setting up Community Learning Centres to ensure that their children receive education. We also actively support communities during difficult times, providing both financial and non-financial aid to those affected by the pandemic and natural disasters, with a focus on addressing food insecurity. Additionally, the businesses operating under the Integrated Farming initiative are dedicated to supporting the community by providing income-generating opportunities.
